Honeysuckle
by Melina Raven Maness DieboldI remember walking
to my grandmother's
through the greengrass
with it's diamonddew eyes
shining back, well-trained
and acute
I can still feel
the breeze
singing it's honeysuckle hymn
pleading me
to partake
of that sweet nectar
So I walked to the honeysuckle
and pulled a blossom
and put the nectar
to my lips
and tasted
(still can taste)
the springtime hidden there 04/29/2002 Posted on 04/29/2002
